Ylityökorvaukset, also known as overtime compensation, are payments made to employees for hours worked beyond their regular working hours. These compensation practices are typically governed by labor laws and collective bargaining agreements. The specific rates and conditions for ylityökorvaukset vary by jurisdiction and industry.

Generally, ylityökorvaukset are calculated as a premium on the employee's regular hourly wage. Common premium rates include time-and-a-half (1.5 times the regular rate) or double-time (2 times the regular rate) for hours worked on weekdays, weekends, or public holidays. The definition of what constitutes "regular working hours" is also defined by law or agreement, often based on a standard workweek.

Eligibility for ylityökorvaukset can depend on an employee's classification. For example, some salaried employees or those in managerial positions may be exempt from overtime pay under certain legal frameworks. Employees are usually required to receive authorization from their employer before working overtime to be eligible for the enhanced compensation.

The purpose of ylityökorvaukset is twofold: to deter excessive overtime by making it more expensive for employers and to compensate employees fairly for the extra effort and time commitment. Record-keeping of all hours worked, including overtime, is crucial for both employers and employees to ensure accurate payment and compliance with regulations. Disputes regarding ylityökorvaukset can often be resolved through internal company procedures, labor unions, or labor dispute resolution bodies.
